Thanks, that indeed seems to be the problem:

    % df -i /tmp
    Filesystem            Inodes   IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
    /dev/hda5                39k     39k       7  100% /

I don't believe in all my years of fiddling with Unix systems I've ever run
out of inodes with a third of the disk space left.  Now to identify the
culprit.
